Kekkei Genkai
Kekkei Genkai: The Hakyougan(Shattered Mirror Eye)The Hakyougan is capable of doujutsu perform through the eyes themselves. These can be defensive or offensive depending on the one performed. The most notable techniques in its arsenal is the ability to conjure up a corporeal summon. The summon itself grows with the user and seems to evolve from a mere set of arms to a Monstrous creature that envelopes the user. However Control plays a key factor in the use of the bloodline, each user must have above average control to prevent them from literally blowing their eyes out of their skull. This higher control also makes it easier to
Wit and Stamina play parts in the bloodline as one would need stamina to use the bloodline for prolonged amounts of time, especially for the corporeal summoning jutsu. Wit entails an understanding of the bloodline and what one must do in order to use it properly. Overall the three stats that are required to bring this doujutsu to bear at its most basic level are control, stamina, and wit, but this is just for basic application.
This brings us to the extra jutsu present, they may require other stats to be at a certain level before being usable. It should be noted that the Hakyougans power being sealed makes certain that unprepared people can't reach jutsu above their level until they're viewed as ready or they'd most likely inflict more harm upon themselves than anything.
Abilities: The abilities of the Hakyougan are directly linked to it’s rank and the rank of the user. The rank of the Hakyougan is directly linked to the user’s rank and thus is their cloud burst.
Academy Students get D, Genin C, Chunin B, Jounin A, Elite Jounin get S. However, to gain any crack beyond D rank, requires the user to RP with the head of the family and obtain it. And, they can only start with D ranking.
Hakyougan Rank:D- S
Type:Doujutsu
Description: D Ranking-The doujutsu itself lays dormant in the black eyes until a handseal is made and chakra is focused into the eyes, the eyes will seem to crack and reveal the physical marking of the eyes strength. When it comes to the Doujutsu abilities, this can be divided down into categories for the Hakyougan. The bloodline essentially allows the clan member access to jutsu the stronger they become. However when it comes right down to it, having one crack doesn't grant you much in terms of abilities. You have access to the first stage of Doshaburi with your Hakyougan activated and that's about it.
C Ranking- Once a Kojiki member goes through the ceremony and is granted their second crack they will find the Doshaburi ability will be stronger but they will also be able to learn the first form of the Oni Majutsu. When it comes to the Hakyougan's abilities they present themselves almost in direct connection with the doujutsu itself. However to prevent an 'overload' so to speak, they can only use one ability at a time. This prevents the user from straining their doujutsu with too much output.
B Ranking- When it comes to the jutsu that can be used at this point, the Hakyougan not only grants the ability to once again increase the tiered abilities but it grants access to another. For instance the Doshaburi ability and Oni Majutsu are the tiered abilities, obviously. With the acquiring of the third crack the user can learn Yata no Kagami their first singular ranked jutsu. Another point of interest is that the Sohen are usually the ones that reach this stage but their clan won't allow them to progress any higher unless the clan member is selected as a Sanmenkyou replacement or there is a special order given out by the Mizukage such as during a time of war, preventing an invasion, etc.
A Ranking- With the obtaining of the fourth crack the clan member is more often than not replacing a Sanmenkyou or carrying out a special order by the will of the Kage, which is rare unless during a time of war. Those that do gain this power not only lead the clan but are considered one of the most powerful members within said clan. Often a Jounin in rank since there have been only three Chuunin as Sanmenkyou in the clans history, they have the power to learn Yasakani no Magatama as well as increasing the power of Doshaburi and Oni Majutsu.
S Ranking- Saikou HakyouWhen a clan member obtains four cracks in their Hakyougan they can eventually move on to learn the Saikou Hakyou. This stage is considered the ultimate form of the bloodline and only comes to privileged Hakyougan users that have either earned the right to bear it or in times of war. When activated the entire eye will be covered in multiple cracks almost like a broken mirror. This is the absolute form of the bloodline as it grants access to the strongest forms of the tiered doujutsu, only a powerful shinobi can manage to use and withstand the Saikou Hakyous power. The Saikou Hakyou will lift the last traces of the seal when removed and more often than naught requires approval from the Elders. This technique enables the user to literally shatter any other Doujutsu simply by looking upon it.
Doshaburi (Cloudburst)Rank: D - S-rank
Requirements: Properly Ranked Hakyougan
Type: Doujutsu
Description: D Ranking-This is commonly the most well known ability used amongst the Kojiki clan members. A simple technique that is used when a Hakyougan is active, the user focuses chakra through their eye and releases a burst of energy outward from the crack(s) in their eye. Obviously with one crack this will be useful only for repelling things like kunai of shuriken so long as they are within the cracks path of travel, deflecting them away. When fired off it grows after leaving the eye, being roughly a foot in length. The range of this technique is only 3 yards as it is primarily used as a deterrent against physical projectiles.
C Ranking-When the user advances their Hakyougan they can advance Doshaburi. A second crack not only increases the bursts in number but power as they start to become a low level offensive jutsu that can repel kunai, shuriken, etc or go up against C-rank offensive Ninjutsu. This is also a useful skill to have when you're trying to put some distance between you and your opponent. The size the bursts grow to remain the same as the D-rank burst. This level of Doshaburi has a range of 6 yards.
B Ranking-Three cracks once again allowing the clan member to increase the number of bursts and the power of Doshaburi. It becomes increasingly useful for a variety of purposes, these bursts capable of things like blasting away clouds of smoke/poison, repelling projectiles, countering opponents in close combat, etc. Being a B-rank jutsu it can handle similarly ranked offensive Jutsu. In this form the bursts grow to two feet in length and holds a range of 9 yards.
A Ranking-Should a Kojiki clan member gain 4 cracks the power is capable of being improved as it not only becomes a more focused attack in the way it releases these bursts, and yet again the number is increased. This level is effective in terms of deterring close range combatants from charging headlong at the clan member as they'd be blasted backwards very easily by this technique. The bursts grow to three feet in length in this form and have a range of 12 yards.
S Ranking-The final tier of Doshaburi, and as such it is the most powerful and deadly. With the Saikou Hakyou in their possession, the user can gain the ability to use this form of Doshaburi in combat. When obtained this form can contend with defensive jutsu of a lower rank as well as cause great harm to anyone that moves in too close. When fired off this jutsu will have an almost weblike pattern to it given how the eye looks like a broken mirror, thus the cracks reflect this in the projection of Doshaburi. The web like burst grows to be five feet in diameter. This version holds a maximum range 16 yards.
Jutsu:- Clan Jutsu:
Name: Oni Majutsu: Ebisu (Ogre Black Arts: Brutish Warrior)
Rank:C-rank
Requirements: C-rank Hakyougan
Type: Doujutsu
Element: N/A
Description:
While not commonly used because of the difficulty it takes to master, the Sanmenkyou and one or two Sohen are known to display skill with this technique. Using both eyes, the user will generate a corporeal summon around themselves. The strength of the users Hakyougan once again plays a pivotal role in the strength of this ability and as such they should be prepared for the resulting effects it can have on them.
The abilities of this technique are broken down like Doshaburi but only become available once a person has gained their second crack in a Hakyougan. When a user has a 2 cracks they are capable of bringing about seven disembodied skeletal arms that hover about their body, they are around three feet in length. These arms can be used offensively or defensively depending on the situation, but primarily most using them at this level will aim for defense. They can also be used to grab or strike at opponents, buying the Kojiki clan member time to form seals and perform a jutsu or buy time for their allies to perform a move of their own. Overall the arms are quite limited in their function, however something to note about the arms as that they can bend like regular arms or in the opposite direction. This provides a degree of flexibility when they strike out at opponents.
When it comes to function, these arms all have the ability to make up for the users possible lack of Taijutsu skills as they can help keep opponents back. They also allow for flexible defense up close and their offensive abilities offer good counter attack options. While the user might not be strong, the arms carry a decent amount of power that can let them inflict serious harm to people. Being C ranked their primary uses are restrict to close combat and primarily blocking and dealing with up close opponents, not Ninjutsu.
Name: Oni Majutsu: Onimusha (Ogre Black Arts: Daredevil Warrior)
Rank: B-rank
Requirements: B-rank Hakyougan, Oni Majutsu: Ebisu (Ogre Black Arts: Brutish Warrior)
Type: Doujutsu
Element: N/A
Description:
Reaching the level of Sanhibi will grant the clan member the power to improve their Oni Majutsu into the start of its true form. At this stage in addition to having the seven arms they will gain four more arms and six criss-crossed rib bones that are attached to the arms via a series of shoulder joints and clavicles. The ribs have a radius around the user of at least 4 feet, acting like a personal shield. The height of this jutsu spans from slightly above the users head and goes down a total of 4 feet. To add to this form, two of the arms are increased in size and power, being the primary offensive force at this stage.
These two large arms are around 6 feet in length, their size obviously being smaller than the later versions of Oni Majutsu. These large skeletal arms can be used to ward off taijutsu using opponents and block more solid ninjutsu attacks or wrap around the ribs to aid in blocking less solid Ninjutsu(wind, fire, etc). They can also be used to hold off multiple henchman, puppets, or certain summon beasts of similar level. The other arms will often be used to reach out or grab at the opponent every time they attempt to attack after getting around the larger arms. The skeletal frame seems to also gain a spinal column around the users feet and a neck like extension at the top, showing progression in form as well as power.
Name: Oni Majutsu: Tenkairikishi (Ogre Black Arts: Warrior of the Heavenly Realm)
Rank: A-rank
Requirements: A-rank Hakyougan, Oni Majutsu: Onimusha (Ogre Black Arts: Daredevil Warrior), Clan Creator Approval
Type: Doujutsu
Element: N/A
Description:
At this level the user must have an A-rank Hakyougan in order to progress Bishamonten to his stage. When the clan member obtains the Shihibi the rib cage enlarges from the area around the user to having a radius of ten feet. Not only did the ribs increase in size but more two more ribs are added to this obscure structure that stands at a rough height of twelve feet, even more clavicle and shoulder joints appear to anchor down the newly emerged arms, the number of limbs increasing to 26 at this point.
There are four large arms on this form, each one being 18 feet in length and covered in traces of muscle tissue. These arms are capable of crushing a person between two of their hands, and are the only ones that seem close to matching in size with the ribcage in terms of proper anatomy. While being the primary offensive force of this jutsu they are also the first line of defense against large attacks, not the rib cage. The ribcage is considered the last line of defense in the A-rank form. These arms will wrap around the front of the ribcage to defend against non solid attacks(ex: fire, water, etc) when they can't grab a hold of it. These massive arms are not only devastating to people but they can rip up trees, boulders, or large chunks of earth to use as projectiles.
Moving on to the other means of of attack, this brings us to the eight "medium" arms that have multiple extra arm segments to give them a longer reach as well was the capability to wrap around opponents. These medium arms are like tentacles in the way they are used, even more so since they are primarily used to grab onto opponents or wrap around them. With the extra arm segments, these arms are ten feet in length and are spaced around the ribcage rather unevenly. And lastly the remaining arms are spaced around and have one or two extra arm segments to make up for the lack of being bundled up like they were when the rib cage was smaller. The spinal column that had appeared at the users feet is now complete and elevates the ribcage as it sits suspended with the bottom set of ribs around the users mid section.
This spinal column crawls up the clan members back, connecting them to the structure as it reaches up and connects to the base of the neck extension. It should be noted while the spine is along the users back, the ribcage isn't. This means the entire thing resembles more of an umbrella looking structure than your conventional human design. To top off the appearance of this monstrous form a skull appears, a pair of fangs coming up off the front of the bottom jaw like one would see with an Oni. The large corporeal being also gaining muscle tissue that seems to grow over the large arms and some shoulder joints, the being starts to resemble a cross between a Hecatonchires and an Oni, an thin aura covering the entire form to add to the appearance and a bit of protect against simple things like kunai.
~Name: Oni Majutsu: Bishamonten (Ogre Black Arts: God of Warriors)
Rank: S-rank
Requirements: Saikou Hakyou, Oni Majutsu: Tenkairikishi (Ogre Black Arts: Warrior of the Heavenly Realm); Clan Creator Approval
Type: Doujutsu
Element: N/A
Description:
The Saikou Hakyou will add the final touches to this summon from the A-rank form, granting it the look of an ethereal Oni like Hecatonchires wearing armor and possessing a flowing mane of hair. The monster acts like living armor as it provides the greatest degree of protection while maintaining its offensive capabilities. At this point it should be stated that while using Bishamonten the clan member could not only surround themselves but allies, using the corporeal being as a means of protecting teammates, buying time for others to escape/counter attack, or several other uses. Bishamonten was often used by the clan Saikou Hakyou bearers as a rallying banner in battle before they were forced to find safety in Kirigakure. It was also holds a demoralizing effect on the enemy given its appearance. When applying the formula for this form, speed is still determined by one less than control.
Essentially it is the same size as Oni Majutsu: Tenkairikishi but the power is obviously improved as well. Being the most powerful form of the Oni Majutsu line it has incredible defense and can take a pounding in battle. The large arms no longer needed for defense thanks to the armor covering the body, this allows them to completely focus on the opposition. The medium arms gain an extra two feet to their reach as do the short arms, meaning the short arms now have an average length of 5 or 6 feet. It should be known that while it is more powerful, Bishamonten has an ability that the Kojiki clan member may employ to try and reduce ranged threats.
~Name: Oni Majutsu: Seisou (Ogre Black Arts: Holy Lance)
Rank: B-rank
Requirements: Oni Majutsu: Bishamonten
Type: Doujutsu
Element: N/A
Description:
While it is lower in rank than Bishamonten, it is nothing more than means of dealing with ranged opponents, not its primary focus. This jutsu is performed by Bishamonten sacrificing one of its medium arms. This is accomplished by the Summon literally ripping the arm off and the limb stiffing into a throwing Javelin. Given there are eight of these arms it can be used a total of eight times and once per thread as the arms require time to regrow. These arm-spears are like missiles as they impact into something and explode, sending a shock wave outward from the point of impact of up to 6 yards. Its range is peaked at 32 yards.
~Name: Yata no Kagami (Eight Hand Mirror)
Rank: B-rank
Requirement: Sanhibi Hakyougan
Type: Doujutsu
Element: N/A
Description:
The first jutsu non-tiered that the Hakyougan gains, Sohen primarily use this unless they're the one or two that have trained to use Oni Majutsu. This jutsu is used by funneling chakra through the eye and dispersing it before the clan member. This in turn creates a barrier of sorts directly in front of the user that is circular in shape and has a diameter of six feet, this barrier capable of repelling B-rank Ninjutsu or below. This barrier lasts only for the time of its use and then be dispelled since the Jutsu is instantaneous. Forcing the barrier to stay erect longer then the time it is used can lead to serious health issues and cause eye damage. This Jutsu is primarily focused through the left eye. This Jutsu can be used instantly and has a cooldown of two posts. While deploying the shield, the tiered doujutsu cannot be used.
~Name: Yasakani no Magatama
Rank: A-rank
Requirements: Shihibi Hakyougan
Type: Doujutsu
Element: N/A
Description:
When five cracks are obtained within a persons Hakyougan they gain access to this ability, with training they can shift their eye, the cracks moving so a small pupil of sorts is formed at the center of the eye thanks to the formation of the cracks. When formed the user can channel an attack through this pupil, the blast is powerful enough to devastation anything in its path. It can rip tress from the ground and blast boulders apart. The blast when released from the eye is roughly five feet or so around and has a range of 30 yards. The user of this technique should be a good marksman or have a partner helping them, the power tending to drain the user briefly afterward. This jutsu is focused through the right eye, it also tends to cause a good amount of pain after the jutsu is used. This has a three post cooldown and takes a post to charge. While using this ability, the tiered powers can't be used.
~Name: Ame-no-nuhoko (Heavenly Jeweled Spear)
Rank: S-rank
Requirement: Saikou Hakyou
Type: Doujutsu
Element: N/A
Description:
This jutsu uses both eyes, it is also considered one of the most powerful offensive jutsu the Kojiki clan can learn. The eyes of the of the user will shift the cracks, aligning them in a pattern where they converge at the center of the users eyes. The basic idea of the attack is that a spectral spear will be launched at the target, this spear being quite large in size as it can easily impale mid level summon beasts. Once it hits something the spear will condense into the point of impact and explode. This spear can easily tear through an A-rank defensive ninjutsu, upon doing so the spear would collapse and explode violently, easily clearing an area around the epicenter up to 17 yards. However the recoil from this attack is rather painful to the user, most not prepared for the mental backlash the first time and often pass out. This has a two post charge and a four post cooldown. Tiered powers are not capable of being used with this.
Information
Clan History: Sanmenkyou(Three sided Mirror aka the Elders) - Leaders of the clan, each one granted a title and rules over one of the three houses of the Kojiki clan. They are the Mirakyousen(Warring Mirror), the Kyoumen(Surface Mirror), and the Enkyou (Round Mirror). The Mirakyousen handles matters between the Kage and the clansmen in terms of handing out missions and training the more adept doujutsu users. Another role of Mirakyousen is that of Doujutsu master as they are usually the one out of the three with the most cracks. The Kyoumen deals with the political affairs between the clan and village, they also are responsible for teaching from time to time. They are often formally dressed at all times of day, often working out of the villages offices during the day. The Enkyou handles internal matters of the clan, often disciplining troublemakers and the like. However amongst the Sanmenkyou, the Enkyou also watch for signs of rebellion from within that might affect their standing in the villages eyes. They also keep watch over the Kojiki Compound in Kirigakure as well as their Clans former stronghold on the coast. They are considered the three strongest members in the clan.
Despite their tasks, the Sanmenkyou can take on Genin teams. However they usually never take on members of their own clan unless they have to. Kyoumen often refuses a team to stay beside the Kages side and pick up the slack should one of the other two go on a mission. Enkyou often takes on a team but rarely goes on missions. This brings us to the Mirakyousen, while he often takes teams on a trial run to see if they can pass a test to his standards he is known to regularly fail even passing students for personal reasons.
Sohen(Fragments) - Members of the clan that carry out the Elders will within the clan. Given how the clan is comprised of a total of 97 members total at the present time, about 10 of them are Sohen and three are the Sanmenkyou. This leaves 85 members as either shinobi or people that help the village in other ways. The Sohen are placed below the Sanmenkyou in terms of power, often showing proficiency with their bloodline that most clan member don't short of the Elders.
The Sohen are probably the only members who will readily use their bloodline as much as the Clan Elders. The remaining Clansmen will often rely on their other shinobi skills, this makes the Sohen and Sanmenkyou the primary bloodline users and they often strive to improve themselves. They seek to excel their shinobi skills as the village still views them as outsiders
The birth of a bloodline
Born to a poor farmer, Oburi lived the first few years like any other child. Learning to follow in his fathers foot steps and be a farmer himself. Back during times of war, battles between villages took their toll on his village. Oburi was seven when his village was razed to the ground. When members of the Kojiki clan came to the village they provided aid and supplies for the village to rebuild, they of course were looking for people they could train in order to make there ranks swell, the village would most likely have willing young souls ready to taste revenge. Oburi was one of these young souls.
Obviously he would not have been thrust into the war due to his age, but instead he was placed in the ranks of young people being trained to fight in the future. Wanting to get back at those that murdered his family he quickly learned what he needed in order to become stronger. Because of his time spent being a farmer, the physical excercises and activities during his training were not was hard as they seemed. During his time training he was paired with a comrade in the Kojiki compound. During their years together they relied on one another to obtain their goal of becoming stronger.
Graduation Day. The final exam one might say, obviously something neither Oburi or his comrade were prepared for. Once informed of the test Oburi and Ryuuzaki were at each others throats. Oburi at this time seemed to be at a disadvantage once Ryuuzaki pinned him to the floor and drove a knife through his right shoulder. Before Ryuuzaki could deal the death blow, Oburi's body surfaced something. A new bloodline appearing in the face of danger. Giving Oburi an edge of Ryuuzaki's next move, Oburi quickly reacted and used Doshaburi and knocked Ryuuzaki off of him.
Free to rip the knife from his shoulder he did just that and with almost blinding speed sent the weapon into Ryuuzaki's forehead, killing him instantly. Oburi sat there in disbelief as he tried to slow his breathing. A latent genetic ability that he possessed had become activated in a near death situation in the form of a Doujutsu. After graduating Oburi continued to train and as he did so, his Doujutsu became stronger. It was to the point that he could must the power of the Hakyougan's tiered abilities with ease.
The Clan
Over the years Oburi had children, and they had children, and so on. He was allowed to join the clan and in his youth he was rather "popular" with the ladies even if it was at the Clan Elders request. The Kojiki Clan became a nomadic clan, hiring themselves out in times of war. By the Second Great Shinobi War the Kojiki clan had grown greatly in size, having dozens of members made the Kojiki clan become seen as a serious threat. Over the years members of the clan started to be born with the doujutsu bloodline rather than having to activate it through training, some members of the clan becoming skilled fighters, the bloodline eventually becoming the very symbol of the clans power.
The clan seemed to thrive and prosper, their nomadic lifestyle taking them around. It seemed well established and their future bright, at least that's what they believed until a village attacked them and took them completely by surprise. One of the clan Sohen at the time, Sachi, rose up with his doujutsu and helped fend off the shinobi. The other Sohen taking up arms with as he used the Saikou Hakyou to move through the battle while using the strongest abilities the Doujutsu had to offer. The village ninjas dispatching a goodly number of their clan members before they escaped to safety. The Elders lamented the lose of the men, women, children lost to the attack.
It wasn't long before the clan as a whole agreed that they would not survive another attack from village shinobi and trekked to the closest one in order to seek asylum. The safest choice being Kirigakure. With that decided they all boarded ships and sought out the Hidden Village in the Mist. After a year they finally came upon the village and the elders sought out the Mizukages counsel with Sachi in tow. The negotiations were shaky at first but eventually the Kojiki clan was allowed to become members of the village. However due to the mistrust toward them they were sent to guard the coastline of the wave lands and had to place seals upon their memebrs from that day forward to limit the clans power. To most back then, the seal was seen as a leash that the Mizukage could yank on his new pack of lap dogs, to others they saw it as a symbol of peace in some strange way. They remained on guard duty with a few village chuunin that trained and helped the clan grow. The children quickly growing into shinobi, some even being sent back to the village to take on missions and become part of the genin teams.
Some generations later, the Kojiki clan was folded into the village, given a compound with which they stay, and recognized for their stalwart effort of maintaining the shores around the village. Despite the Kojiki compound, the clan members always refer to their home as the small stronghold resting on the Eastern Coast. The Kojiki in the end were removed from their nomadic lifestyle and granted a small fragment of peace within Kirigakure, given their official duties to protect the village. An age of tension was eased in the clan and Kojiki clan members were given the chance to merely serve their village. However there are still some shinobi that live up to the clan former title as "free spirits".
